Virginia Voters, the Attorney General position is critical to the success of the Governor's policies. Failing to fill in a candidate on your ballot is equivalent to voting for the MAGA Republican who will spend Spanberger's entire term blocking her success and yours.

On successive days we see images of King Trump shitting on citizens and the actual destruction of the White House.

Fairfax Democrats @fairfaxdemocrats.bsky.social · 1d

This is the perfect metaphor for what Trump is doing to our country. This is what is and will happen in every state as he dismantles the structures that serve Americans of all colors, ages, genders, beliefs and ethnicities - pitting us all against each other. Divide and conquer.

Hello. These are texts from the General Manager and VP of Fair Oaks Motors, a dealership in your district. A complaint was filed with Miyares's office of Civil Rights in Jan 2023. An attorney did not respond until over a year later. This was the first of many highly despicable acts by his office.

I find Jay Jones' texts objectionable, but if you're a journalist in the Trump era—who watched a rich white man say publicly that someone should assassinate Clinton so he could win the presidency, then won the presidency with that rhetoric—and you're giving a Black man grief for *private texts*, GFY

If Miyares wins Trump wins. Miyares must be stopped. Trump must be stopped.

Trump says he's supporting @jasonmiyaresva.bsky.social because I'll join the attorneys general suing him. He's right, and we're going to win.

Here's why: "Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on," & "They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people"

Why do all the cries for making the United States “great” again come from people who also advocate and support an undemocratic president and seem very much okay with the idea of an authoritarian “king?”

The single most UNAMERICAN thing you can do is be pro-authoritarian and pro-monarch.

Woke up this morning to see this plastered everywhere and thought to myself, "Damn how is this guy not in jail?" However, notice the "unindicted" part and if you do a bit more digging you'll see this man had nothing to do with the bombing. I'm sure the guy has issues, but that isn't one of them.

Mamdani appears smiling, arm-in-arm with unindicted ‘93 WTC bombing co-conspirator and terrorist apologist

Mamdani was apparently invited by the Masjid At-Taqwa on Fulton Street as part of a campaigning event in partnership with Black Muslims Now.

All Democratic Reps and Sens should be reporting in. What is each doing in their districts? How are they helping the cause? Are they working towards reelection? The shut down is not a vacation. It is an opportunity to strengthen their resolve for taking over both Houses in 2026.

Pick a GOP POS you don't like and I bet they've spoken out against Jay Jones. Trump, Musk, Carlson, Beck, Vance. Imagine if Thanos, Joker, Green Goblin, Red Skull, and Lex Luthor, all came out against one man. That probably means that guy is a top notch superhero. Vote Jay Jones.

I haven't followed the New York City mayoral race, but what should fly off the screen to anyone who's not a virulent Islamophobe, is that Zohran Mamdani is a political megastar.

Jason Miyares was an “expert presenter” at an online event hosted by David Bereit and the Family Foundation dedicated to stopping Virginia’s abortion amendment “dead in its tracks” before it reaches voters in 2026.

The only choice to protect reproductive rights is Jay Jones for Attorney General.
